Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen corn)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the corn. If using fresh ears of corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, allow it to thaw slightly.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the corn and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir thoroughly. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens and coats the corn.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the country corn to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, comforting side dish!
